Grow Financial Set to Open Branch No. 20

This is an artist's rendering of the new Grow Financial branch set to open in Lakeland, Fla., this spring.

The $1.8 billion, 156,300-member Grow Financial Credit Union said it plans to open its 20th branch this spring – a new facility in Lakeland, Fla.

The Tampa-based credit union said the new, 4,500-square-foot branch will include interactive technology in a designated area inside the branch and in a video conference room.

Kimberly Votery will be market manager at the new location. She most recently was a manager at Midflorida CU in Lakeland and has more than 14 years of management experience, Grow Financial said.

“Our members in the Polk County area will now have a more convenient location to visit, and we feel they will be very pleased with the welcoming atmosphere the branch has to offer,” said the credit union’s president/CEO, Bob Fisher.

Grow Financial said its expansion plans this year also include new branches in Wesley Chapel, Fla., and in South Carolina.
